Collin County Sheriff Terry Box says it's been a difficult week at work.

"It's been very solemn around the office. And everybody remembering him, remembering how he acted toward them when they first met him and how his personality was. It's all been very, very positive though," Sheriff Box said.

Deputy Richard Fields, also known as Dickie, worked for the Collin County Sheriffs Office for 18 years. His co-workers describe him as friendly, helpful and quite the talker.

"For knowing Dickie, I'm a better man," a friend said.

Friends say Rebecca was a wonderful wife and the two treated every one like family.

"They loved everybody," the Pastor said.

As the pall bearers carried the lone casket out of the church, people reflected on Richard and Rebecca and the impact we can all have on each other's lives.

"I don't think we realize till after times like this of how many lives we effect on a daily basis. And how much your friendship or your kind words or your deeds mean to everybody until something like this happens," Sheriff Box said.

"You know, if you have the opportunity to talk to your friends and family, seize that moment. Seize that moment," a friend said.

The Fannin County Sheriff's Office has not released what caused the fire that destroyed their Ladonia home. The state fire marshal's office is assisting in the investigation.
